About Us
Here at Sparta Angus we pride ourselves on being completely free of North American genetics as they do not meet our breeding objectives. Our cattle are known for their quiet temperament and this is intrinsic to our breeding selection. We also focus on broad muzzles with a deep strong jaw, soft coats, good sound feet and structural composition. We also have a strong focus on our females, with high milking ability and good skeletal structure allowing calving ease. We use within herd BREEDPLAN as a tool to aid in selection.
Our Cattle have been born and bred since the stud was established in 1965 here on the southern Monaro, known for its harsh conditions and long cold winters. Subsequently our cattle are bred for their doing ability and fast finishing in this environment. We also have the philosophy that our cattle have to perform under commercial conditions, hence all our cattle are run in conjunction with our sheep enterprise with no supplementary feeding with the exception of extreme drought conditions. This gives us the ability to select individuals based on their doing ability and performance to meet our stringent standards
